ACES East is a unique, specialist program providing support for senior citizens with a disability. 

Accord Community Engagement Services East

ACES Eastern

ACES Eastern assists people to develop a personal plan incorporating their dreams and aspirations in retirement.

Enjoy life as a senior citizen

This specialist program is unique in providing support for senior citizens with a disability. As people age they may require greater flexibility to participate in integrated programs offering a diverse range of recreation and leisure options designed to meet each person's specific needs. At ACES Eastern the starting point for all group programs is with personal choice and group activities are designed around common interests. The service considers individual circumstances and interests rather than what a particular pre-designed program has to offer.

Accessing ACES East

Persons over the age of 55 with disabilities who live in the outer eastern metropolitan region of Melbourne can access the program. If you are interested, contact ACES Eastern (formerly known as Archway) directly or the intake worker from the DHS Regional Client Services team.

The service operates from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday for 46 weeks a year. Fees are set in accordance with transport, program and activity requirements.
